Definitions
- This invention has as its subject a device for transferring and shaping ready for use on cigarette packing machines, the understrip or ⁇ shoulder piece ⁇ incorporated internally in each packet of the hinge lid type.
- the understrip constitutes a vital part of this type of packet.
- the packet as is known is produced by a cardboard blank being subjected to a number of folding operations and having one of the said understrips bonded to it.
- FIG. 1 The final result is a box or parallelepiped packet of the type shown in FIG. 1, comprising a body 1 and a lid 2 which are interconnected by means of a hinge 3.
- Each side piece 6 is separated from the center panel 5 by a series of indentations 7 along which the folds are made.
- the indentations 7 have notches 8, the purpose of which will be seen in due course (see also FIG. 2).
- the understrip which has its center panel 5 bonded to the front, and its side pieces 6 bonded to the lateral walls, of the body 1, protrudes above that part of the packet where the opening is, in such a way as to create continuity and seal the opening between the body 1 and the lid 2 once the packet is closed.
- Protrusions 8' are formed, at the time the side pieces 6 are folded where the previously mentioned notches 8 are located.
- the protrusions serve to increase the contact between the understrip 4 and the lid 2 and to lock the latter down when the packet is closed.
- FIG. 1 An examination of FIG. 1 will show that the two uppermost corners 9 of the understrip 4, placed in proximity of the hinge 3, have been slightly curved towards the inside of the body 1 so as to assist the lid 2 to be closed and to slide onto the side pieces 6 when the packet is being closed.
- Flat blanks for the understrips 4 can be produced according to the description given, for example, in patent application Ser. No. 522,299 filed Nov. 8, 1974 in the name of the same Applicant as herein, out of a continuous flat web of cardboard material N (see FIG. 2) on which two longitudinal lines of indentations 7 are made, punctuated every so often by the notches 8.
- the web for understrips or shoulder pieces 4, thus produced, is subjected to a finishing operation by cutting means belonging to the blank-producing device.
- the object of the present invention is to make available a device for transferring the blanks for understrips or shoulder pieces, produced, for example, in the way briefly described above, to the wrapping line of a machine for packing cigarettes in packets of what are known as the hinge lid type and, at the same time, to shape the understrips ready for use on the said line.
- the subject matter of the present invention is, therefore, a device connected to a machine for packing cigarettes in packets of the hinge lid type and working in conjunction with means on which the understrips or shoulder pieces are produced and with a wrapping line for the packing machine.
- the device according to the invention comprises an oscillatable and axially movable arm for shaping the understrip blanks, while transferring them, one at a time, from the production area to and through an understrip shaping station.
- the device also has gripper means for additionally shaping the understrips while transferring them from this station to a second and adjacent station, belonging to the wrapping line and provided with a plurality of compartments movable intermittently or in steps in such a way that they halt in succession in the second station. Means are thus provided to shape the understrips in a U, and generally ready for use, while they are being transferred from the blank producing area to an adjacent part of the wrapping line.
- FIG. 1 shows, in a perspective view, a packet of the known hinge lid type with particular emphasis given to the understrip or shoulder piece;
- FIG. 2 shows, also in a perspective view, the succession of the various transfer and processing operations to which the understrip material is subjected, including the operations applied to the individual understrip blanks according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows, again in a perspective view; in addition to the means for the production of the above mentioned understrip blanks forming the subject of the previously cited Patent Application in the name of the same Applicant as herein; the device according to the present invention, together with the means for its operation.
- FIG. 3 there is a bedplate for the device forming the subject of the invention and this is anchored to the frame of the machine for packing cigarettes in packets of the hinge lid type.
- the entire device takes it drive from means not illustrated in FIG. 3 but belonging to the aforementioned machine, through a coupling 11 integral with a horizontal shaft 12 which is carried in rotation around its own axis.
- the drive is passed on, using a dog clutch 13 and a bevel gear and pinion 14, to a vertical shaft 15.
- the shaft 12 is supported by the bedplate 10.
- This mechanical connection can be broken by a cam 16 integral with the above mentioned clutch 13 using manually operated means.
- a cam 16 mounted on the vertical shaft 15 from bottom to top, in the order stated, are three cylindrical cams 17, 18 and 19.
- the drive is passed on from the upper extremity of shaft 15 to a pair of helical gears 20.
- the sector gear 21' oscillates in a horizontal plane and, through a gear 22, causes a vertical shaft 23 supported by the bedplate 10 of the device to oscillate around its own axis.
- the middle cam 18 has a race machined into its cylindrical surface in which slides an idle roller carried on one end of a lever 24 pivoted at its intermediate point to a horizontal pin integral with the bedplate 10 of the device.
- lever 24 is shaped in the form of a fork 24' with horizontal prongs provided with idle rollers on horizontal spindles placed, diametrically opposite each other, between two rebates or shoulders 25 with which the shaft 23 is provided.
- the lever 24 oscillates in a vertical plane and, through the described connection, carries the shaft 23, which is already provided with a rotatory oscillating movement derived from the cam 17, in an axial reciprocating movement.
- a second set of rolls 27 then moves the web N to transversely extending cutting means.
- Both sets of rolls 26 and 27 are provided with an intermittent motion derived from a Geneva mechanism 28 driven by the helical gears 20.
- the cutting means consist of a stationary knife 29 and a movable knife 30 and these are made out of horizontal plates positioned transversely with respect to the direction in which the web N moves forward.
- the movable knife 30 is provided with a number of holes 31, rhythmically connected to suction by pipe means 31a and, moved by the previously mentioned uppermost cam 19, it moves vertically up and down. Each time the knife 30 makes an upward movement, it detaches one finished, flat understrip blank 4 from the continuous web N (see position I° in FIG. 2).
- This understrip blank 4 which, on account of the suction applied through the holes 31, attaches itself to the upper part of the movable knife 30, is raised by this knife vertically from the cutting plane to the furthermost upward position of this knife, thus completing the production of the understrip blanks.
- a transfer and shaping means belonging to a first station of the device forming the subject of the present invention, as will now be described.
- the transfer means consists of a horizontal arm 32 pivoted to one end of the shaft 23 which, as seen earlier on, is provided with both a movement whereby it oscillates around its own axis and with an axial reciprocating motion. It will be seen from FIG. 3 that the oscillating or swinging movement of arm 32 takes place in a horizontal plane and that the axial motion is vertical and transversal of this plane.
- the other extremity of the arm 32 is integral with a horizontal bar 34 and this has on its lower part two horizontal plates 35 with one or more holes (not shown in FIG. 3) drilled in them, which are rhythmically connected, via a pipe 36, to the source of suction.
- the shaft 23 Upon completing its first oscillating phase under the action of the cam 17, the shaft 23 places the bar 34 transversely with respect to the direction in which the continuous web N moves forward (see the position 34' indicated with a thin line of dots and dashes in FIG. 3).
- the shaft 23 transfers the understrip blank 4 on to a position slightly above a horizontal fixed plate structure 37 at a point adjacent to a rectangular shaped aperture 38, machined therein, as shown in FIG. 3.
- the cam 18 then causes the arm 32 to effect a forcible, vertical, downward sliding movement by which the understrip blank 4, still attached by suction to the plates 35, is inserted in the said rectangular shaped aperture 38.
- the understrip 4 Upon completion of the downward movement of the arm 32, the understrip 4 arrives at two horizontal stops 40 which are machined in the body of the plate 37 and are positioned at points corresponding to where the two side pieces 6 are located.
- the former plate is mounted, through an arm 43, on a vertical shaft 44 which is provided with an axial reciprocating motion and the latter plate is mounted directly on a vertical shaft 45 which is also provided with an axial reciprocating motion as shown in FIG. 4, plates 41, 42 are shorter than bar 34.
- a top-open compartment 46 belonging to a conveyor shown as a circular plate 47 (carried by a vertical shaft 48 and moved intermittently in a counter clockwise direction by means of a known type), is in a waiting position.
- the aperture as shown by FIG. 3, is approximately coextensive with the compartment.
- the circular plate 47 is part of a second station of the present device, as shown.
- This second station also comprises the plates 41, 42.
- the conveyor plate 47 as shown, also belongs to the wrapping line for the machine used to pack the cigarettes in packets of the hinge lid type.
- This plate is provided with a plurality of circumferentially located compartments 46 shaped to accept parallelepiped objects and these compartments halt in succession at the point where the shaped understrips 4 are delivered by the two plates 41 and 42.
- the bottom of the compartment 46 is partially open, between two tangential borders 46' to allow the shaft 45 with plate 42 to effect its travel, as shown.
- the depth of the compartment corresponds to the crosswise dimension of each side piece 6, while the radial dimension of the compartment is the same as the crosswise dimension of the panel 5.
- the understrip 4 continues its vertical downward movement guided by the plates 41 and 42 and goes inside and right to the bottom of the compartment 46, with its two side pieces 6 at right angles to the panel 5, thereby providing the final shape of the understrip.
- the understrip then is ready for transfer toward the point of use (see position IV° in FIG. 2).
- the two plates 41 annd 42 no longer serve any useful purpose and thus the former commences a vertical upward return movement, while the latter continues to move downwards for a certain distance to disengage itself from the circular plate 47.
- the ensemble consisting of the batch G of cigarettes wrapped in the lined foil and inserted in the understrip 4 can then be transferred from the circular plate 47 to other means used to complete the packet.
